Like the barren snow on a "summer" day liminal, i lay thinking about you. saying "i miss you" has gotten so old. i almost don't. i feel so alone i evaporate like a flake of snow on a summer day.

You were my fireplace
I can't wrap my head around your absence. Perhaps earthly emotions are petty. Then again, Isn't everything hell Compared to heaven? I'm unwell. The worst type, In fact. You couldn't tell, When all your limbs Were intact. What's worse? Screeching for help, Or faking health? Signed, Your faithful infidel

Dear Dearest
I'm estranged from who I used to be Sometimes I miss what we had, you and me The line trills while your phone rings but we Keep missing each other's summons for unity I'm tired of leaving messages you're too tired to hear Next thing we know we've dug holes too deep I can't climb anymore Our upper body's too weak And this cove is starting to look like home More and more the more strength we yield Maybe we're not meant to be Maybe my self is better off Without me

Without We
From the grave you'll hear me Call out your name You're forbidden from my thoughts-- I hold them hostage, exhausting us both My heart disapproves But it's never really had a voice I hear its faint cries just before the dawn When we're at our darkest And la luna's lunacy reigns terror on me Invading the haven I spent all day fashioning Nothing brings me joy anymore God's bolted the window and armored the door

DNR
I'm not here to speak Of what injustices await-- The underbellies of violators Or the error in their ways Under our bellies, as we’ll see Hell and heaven lay in wait I, your body, possess a power Eyed by bodies men dream devour They could not care less For age, weight, or dress Inevitably They will us undress Be you a stick Gain you a stone The tourists will still Lust after your flesh When those meant to guide you Choose comfort instead And after your questions Are met with contempt You’ll venture to answer Hard lessons yourself And I, your mistress, Will surrender myself But promises made Are promises kept And promises met Are met with regret Like I when I first let Them ravage our flesh

Note to Past Self:
I'd say rest in peace But I refuse to admit you're gone I envy the clay and trees That get to cradle you in their arms Has the earth's embrace Brought you comfort at least And if so, can you please let me know So like you, I too, can rest in peace And be free of life and its jaws

Jaws of Life
a two-bit, half-wit hypocrite-- to wit, me my will wilts when moonlit the sun too, it beams will you wean me off you? when i'm with me, i'm mean which means if i'm myself with you, the witch will outwit the whimsy so, thank you for the rose i love and be no more morose, my love-- i've nipped us in the bud for us.

to wit
Do you even care up there Or is it all kind of moot Did you hear my despair that day Or are we all kind of mute I parked by your grave and hares Hopped into my view They scattered away soon as I Wailed into the moon I made a sound so new Even my ears got confused And I prayed for psychosis intrude Just so I could see you

One Last Time
Your take on death Has nourished my flesh What if you were not With me nonchalant I would be a mess-- But father knows best Now tell me, how do I Move on, or abscond? I miss you. I love you. I'm not what you want. I failed you Derailed you Now here I am, gaunt.

Tired, Mired, Uninspired.
sit me in a corner, and forget about me. I don't want to be seen. I draw the curtains when I'm alone lest the neighbor catch a glimpse in his periphery i love loose clothes and turtlenecks i love invisibility. "pretty" and "ugly" sound pretty synonymous when you don't want to be seen.
